The Subjugation Of The Body

The Subjugation Of The Body is a book written by Hiram Erastus Butler that explores the concept of physical discipline and its relationship with mental and spiritual development. The author argues that the body is often neglected in our pursuit of intellectual and spiritual growth, and that this neglect can lead to physical and emotional imbalances. Butler draws from a variety of sources, including religious texts, philosophy, and personal experience, to make his case for the importance of physical discipline. He discusses the benefits of practices such as fasting, exercise, and celibacy, and explores the ways in which they can be used to achieve greater self-control and spiritual insight. The book also addresses the challenges and potential dangers of physical discipline, including the risk of developing an unhealthy obsession with the body or neglecting other aspects of one's life. Butler emphasizes the importance of balance and moderation in all things, and encourages readers to approach physical discipline as a means of enhancing their overall well-being rather than as an end in itself. Overall, The Subjugation Of The Body offers a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between the body, mind, and spirit, and provides practical advice for those seeking to cultivate greater physical and spiritual discipline in their lives.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Narrow Way of Attainment, by Hiram Erastus Butler.
